Under the hood, on the firewall you should be able to find a canister about the size of a tin can. There should be two tubes going into it and depending on the style there should be a sensor either connected to the canister or on one of the tubes. Turn on the AC with the engine running then jumper the two wires that go to the sensor on the canister. If the wiring is still intact and everything is functioning properly the AC compressor should turn on. If it doesn't engage the compressor clutch you may have a wiring problem. If the clutch engages but the compressor starts making bad sounds... well... you get the idea.

Don't run it very long on the jumper. When the refrigerant leaks down that sensor keeps you from running the compressor without refrigerant pressure.
